Abstract: The device moves the fed-in recording medium (7) in a direction perpendicular to a swivelling axis to attain an operational position for action by an optical scanner (14). A reflective photosensor assembly (6, 11) is fitted on the same side of the recording medium as the scanner. This causes a signal to branch off, if the recording medium crosses light rays from the reflective photosensor assembly in an intermediate position different from the operation position. A drivable platen (3) perpendicular to a swivelling axis moves the recording medium. The reflective photosensor assembly switches the platen driver on or off upon a reverse movement to eject the recording medium before the platen releases the recording medium. The reflective photosensor assembly is fitted between the platen and the optical scanner.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for accomplishing virtual deskewing of device-under-test data received by a test system by skewing clock signals instead. In a preferred embodiment, the invention includes a receiver circuit (90) which is capable of operating in a window compare mode to capture a transition of a data signal from either a low data state to a high data state or a high data state to a low data state. The receiver circuit (90) receives a high-level comparator signal (HLC) and a low-level comparator signal (LLC), which when properly deskewed, together indicate what state the data signal is in. The state of the data signal may be one of a high data state wherein the data signal is above a high voltage threshold (VREFH), a low data state wherein the data signal is below a low voltage threshold (VREFL), or an intermediate state wherein the data signal is between the low voltage threshold (VREFL) and the high voltage threshold (VREFH). The receiver circuit (90) also receives a delayed high clock signal (CK_H) and a delayed low clock signal (CK_L) which differ in delay amount in an amount substantially equal to the data skew caused by different delays in respective data paths of the high-level comparator signal (HLC) and the low-level comparator signal (LLC). The delayed high clock signal (CK_H) is used to capture one or more window compare mode function outputs derived from the high-level comparator signal (HLC), and the delayed low clock signal (CK_L) is used to capture one or more window compare mode function outputs derived from said low-level comparator signal (LLC). The captured outputs of the window compare mode functions are decoded to assert one of a high data signal (HD) which indicates that the data signal is in the high data state, a low data signal (LD) which indicates that the data signal is in the low data state, or an intermediate signal (ID) which indicates that the data signal is in the intermediate state. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bonded friction product, such as an automobile brake shoe, and apparatus therefor, includes forming a plastic inner lining element of uncured or green thermosetting resin binder containing friction modifiers and reinforcements and bonding the element to a shoe platform by way of an adhesive resin in a heat and pressure regime which cures the resin binder and adhesive. The need for a closed mold and/or venting stops is avoided by a stabilizing press (50) which includes a heated bed (53) between guide plates (56, 57) that has a recess (52) of less thickness than the lining element (16) to receive such lining element in its green state. The guide plates are spaced slightly further apart than the width of a shoe platform which is, having been preheated, brought down onto the lining element and pressed by a pneumatic ram (70), the loosely sliding shoe body (11) comprising a non-sealing closure member of the press. The previously heated surface (53) of the press bed and shoe platform (12) combine with the lightly ramped-up pressure to create setting-up of the surface resins and fix final dimensions; the ram osition is then clamped to permit internal pressure growth as curing proceeds and gases are vented without disrupting the sealed major surfaces.
